Hernia Surgery in Khar, Mumbai

What is a Hernia?

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weakened area of muscle or connective tissue. Hernias can occur in different parts of the body and vary in size and severity.

Common types of hernia include:

• Inguinal hernia: Occurs in the groin and is the most common type of abdominal-wall hernia.

• Umbilical hernia: Occurs around the navel and can affect both children and adults.

• Incisional hernia: Develops at the site of a previous surgical incision.

• Femoral hernia: Occurs in the upper thigh or groin and is more common in women.

• Hiatal hernia: Occurs when part of the stomach moves through the diaphragm into the chest. Treatment depends on the individual's symptoms and clinical findings.

A surgical evaluation can help determine the type of hernia, whether treatment is required and which approach is most appropriate.

​

Hernia Surgery

Hernia repair may be performed using open or minimally invasive techniques. The choice of approach depends on the type, size and location of the hernia, whether it is a recurrent hernia, previous surgical history and the patient's individual circumstances.

Dr. Samir U. Rambhia performs laparoscopic hernia surgery and, for appropriately selected patients and procedures, robotic hernia surgery.

Common Hernia Procedures

Inguinal Hernia Repair
Inguinal hernias can often be repaired using open or laparoscopic techniques. The appropriate approach is determined after assessment of the hernia and the individual patient.

Umbilical Hernia Repair
Umbilical hernias may be treated with open or minimally invasive surgery depending on their size, symptoms and other clinical factors.

Incisional Hernia Repair
Incisional hernias can develop at the site of a previous abdominal operation. Treatment is planned according to the size and location of the defect and the patient's previous surgical history.

Complex or Recurrent Hernia Repair
Recurrent and more complex hernias may require careful surgical planning. The appropriate surgical technique is selected based on the individual case.

Hiatal Hernia
Some hiatal hernias can be managed without surgery, while others may require surgical treatment depending on symptoms and clinical findings. Evaluation helps determine the most appropriate management.

​

Laparoscopic and Robotic Hernia Surgery

Minimally invasive hernia repair uses small incisions and specialised surgical instruments. In appropriately selected cases, laparoscopic or robotic approaches may offer advantages such as smaller incisions and reduced postoperative discomfort compared with some open procedures.

Robotic surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive surgery that provides the surgeon with enhanced visualisation, precision and control. Dr. Rambhia has completed a Fellowship in Robotic Surgery from the Association of Robotic Innovative Surgeons (ARIS), in conjunction with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, with training at Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai.

The decision to use laparoscopic, robotic or open surgery depends on the individual patient's condition and the type of hernia being treated.

​

Consultation for Hernia Surgery

During a consultation, Dr. Rambhia assesses the patient's symptoms and clinical findings and discusses whether surgical treatment is appropriate. If surgery is recommended, he explains the available approaches, expected recovery, potential risks and other relevant considerations.

A second opinion can also be useful if you have already been advised to undergo hernia surgery and would like to understand the available treatment options.

​

Recovery After Hernia Surgery

Recovery following hernia repair varies depending on the type of hernia, the surgical technique used and the individual patient.

Minimally invasive approaches may allow some patients to return to normal activities sooner than with conventional open surgery, although recovery times vary. Dr. Rambhia will discuss expected recovery, activity restrictions and follow-up during your consultation.
